About us
Experts matter
We believe the increasing complexity of industrial machinery, combined with retiring experts, means that experts matter more today than they ever have.
We have made it our mission as a company to make everyone an expert and we accomplish this by giving them knowledge when and where they need it.
We make Manifest, a platform to harness, distribute and apply what you know. Manifest gives deskless workers instant virtual access to, and step-by-step guidance from, your most experienced technicians and trainers anywhere, anytime. See Manifest in action.
